How to choose floor tiles for house decoration?

At present, there are many kinds of ceramic tiles on the market, such as permeable tiles, vitrified tiles and non-slip tiles, which can usually be divided into the following categories. Glazed tile: refers to the ceramic tile with glazed surface. This kind of brick is divided into two categories: first, it is fired with clay. Because of its high water absorption, it must be glazed, so it should be called "ceramic tile" accurately. This kind of brick has low strength and is rarely used now; The other is fired with porcelain clay. In order to pursue decorative effect, glaze is also fired. This kind of ceramic tile has compact structure, high strength, low water absorption and strong anti-pollution ability, and its price is slightly higher than that of ceramic tile fired by porcelain clay. Glazed tiles fired by porcelain clay are widely used in home decoration at present, and 80% buyers use this tile as floor decoration material. The trick to distinguish these two kinds of bricks is simple: the back of the ceramic tile fired by clay is red, and the back of the ceramic tile fired by porcelain is white. Among the ceramic tiles fired with clay, the wall and floor tiles produced in Spain are very popular in Beijing at present because of their unique decorative effect, but the price of this kind of brick is relatively high, and it is generally used for middle and high-grade home decoration. Full-body brick: this is a kind of unglazed porcelain brick with good anti-slip and wear resistance. Generally speaking, what we call "non-slip floor tiles" are all-in-one bricks. This kind of brick is moderately priced and very popular with consumers. Among them, the exquisite pattern of "flower infiltrated brick" is even more attractive. Polished brick: The whole brick becomes polished brick after polishing. This kind of brick has high hardness, so it is very wear-resistant. Vitrified brick: this is a kind of porcelain brick fired at high temperature, which is the hardest of all tiles. Sometimes polished tiles are scratched, but vitrified tiles are still safe and sound. But this kind of brick is expensive, so it is not necessary to use it for home decoration. Ceramic tiles can be divided into floor tiles, wall tiles and waist tiles according to their functions. There are many kinds of floor tiles, and there is a lot of room for choice. According to the color, it can be divided into glazed tiles, non-slip tiles, glazed tiles and polished tiles. Although the names are quite different, there is little difference in processing technology and composition. The common size of floor tiles is 400 ~ 600 mm square format, and sometimes even large-format floor tiles of 1000× 1000mm are used to make the room look luxurious. However, if large-size floor tiles are used in small-sized rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms, it is inevitable that the loss is too large and it is not economical enough. Therefore, the kitchen and bathroom should use 300 ~ 400 mm square special craft tiles, such as non-slip tiles and wear-resistant porcelain floor tiles. The price of common floor tiles is between 2 ~ 10 yuan. Wall tiles can be divided into vitrified tiles and printed wall tiles by color. Common specifications are mostly 200mm×200mm or 200mm×300mm. At present, the relatively new design idea is to install high-quality 400mm×400mm floor tiles on the wall to form a seamless sense of harmony and comfort, but the cost is higher than that of ordinary wall tiles. Most of the waist bricks are printed bricks. In order to meet the specifications of wall tiles, the width is set to 60mm×200mm, which acts like a beautiful belt around the wall tiles, adding color to the monotonous wall and changing the atmosphere of the space. Cultural stones are often used to decorate the walls or floors of rooms with individuality and natural style. It is a specially treated ceramic tile, and its surface imitates the unevenness of natural rocks and the reflection of crystals. The interior decoration has a sense of reality. Because of its special technology, its cost is relatively high, generally 200 ~ 500 yuan per square meter. When choosing tiles, you can identify the quality from the appearance. Appearance defects are usually manifested as: (1) size error, whether the geometric size is standard or not is the key to judge the quality of ceramic tiles, which can be judged by measuring the diagonal and four-sided dimensions and the surface thickness of ceramic tiles with a tape measure; (2) Color difference: randomly check several pieces out of the box and compare them one by one. It is normal to have slight differences in general. If it is obvious that there is a problem, but different production batches of tiles also have color difference. It is best to buy enough at once, otherwise it will be difficult to match colors in the future; (3) Cracks, underglaze cracks and surface cracks; (4) Uneven, although the glaze layer is bright, there are inclusions in or inside the glaze layer; (5) Spots, isolated variation color spots in glaze color; (6) trauma, crushing or deep cracks, uneven edges and corners. Trilogy of brick selection: 1, price positioning. Choose what price bricks according to your own decoration budget. 2. Choose a brand. Choose three common brands of tiles in various markets. Compare it according to the above introduction. 3. Determine the specific style. Choose the color and pattern of brick according to your own decoration style and main color.
